one way would be to factor
I can't factor it so we will have to use Descartes' Rule of Signs which is helpful for finding how many real roots you have
it goes like this:
for a polynomial with real coefients, consider .
after arranging the terms in decending order in terms of degree, count how many times the signs of the coeffients change direction and minus 2 from that number until you get to 1 or 0. that will be the number of even roots the function can have
We have (-, -, +, +). the signs changed 1 times, so it has 1 real positive root
to get the negative roots, we evaluate f(-x) and see how many times the root changes
signs are (-, -, -, +). there was 1 change in sign
so the function has 1 real negative root
a total of 2 real roots
a function of degree can have at most,
roots
our function is degree 6 so it has 6 roots
if 2 are real, then the others must be complex
6-2=4 so there are 4 complex roots
you can also show that there are only 2 real roots by using a graphing utility to see that there are only 2 real roots
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
let base be b then height h = 2b + 4
The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = bh ( b is the base and h the height ) , then
A = b(2b + 4) ← distribute parenthesis
A = b² + 2b
When b = 16 , then
A = 16² + 2(16) = 256 + 32 = 288 in²
